Fall is one of our favorite seasons for camping, campfires, and all things outdoors. Temperatures are dropping, it is sweatshirt and sweater weather in the evenings, the crowds drop off, Fall themed festivals are popping up, river temps are cooling off for that perfect catch of the day, and mountain bike trails give you access to beautiful scenery and challenging descents. Come visit the Kern soon!
Whether your riding style is cruising around camp...
Or a little more high elevation riding, the Kern has it all.
Some of our fav mtb trails include:
Just Outstanding with Wagy Flat extension
October events around the Kern
Care-for-It
Recreating responsibly includes packing trash bags to leave our wild spaces cleaner than you found them. There is a glass ban in the Sequoia National Forest, so remember to use plastic storage containers, ziploc bags, or bota bags for camping gear and kitchen supplies instead.
Micro-trash and cigarette butts are trash. Thank you for caring and picking up micro-trash and cigarette butts to leave outdoor spaces better than you found them.
